What accommodations are there for guests that have mobility issues or a physical disability?
There is ADA drop-off and parking available. There is very limited floor seating for guests with disabilities, so each person with a disability can be joined by just one additional guest. Additional family members will need to be seated elsewhere.

Will the live stream of the ceremonies be captioned?
Yes, the ceremony will have closed captioning for those viewing online.

Will there be an ASL interpreter at the ceremonies?
Yes, there will be an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter at each ceremony. Please contact the recognition coordinator for your school to request seating near the interpreter.

I need an ADA accommodation that isn’t listed here. Who should I contact?
Please reach out to the recognition coordinator for your school, listed at the top of this page, no later than May 8.
